Sky high-drant: water erupts in San Anselmo traffic accident

A dump truck backed over a hydrant in San Anselmo Friday, allowing water to spout out for nearly an hour before crews turned off the water.

Authorities said the incident happened around 8 a.m. at the corner of Bolinas and San Anselmo avenues. The water was shut off at 8:50 a.m., but not before 100,000 gallons escaped.

Crews from Ross Valley fire, Pacific Gas & Electric Co. and Marin Municipal Water District responded to the incident. The road remained open as Central Marin police directed traffic in the area. No one was hurt.
